5 Benefits a Migrant Employee brings to the workforce

Employers
are often unsure if hiring migrants is a good idea for their company.
They fear that their communication constraints and different value
systems can be detrimental to their organisation. But at the same time,
they notice some of the benefits of hiring Migrants like their ability
to fill in the gaps in skills required by some jobs that are not being
satisfied with the current workforce.

A
study conducted by the UK’s Department for Business, Innovation, and
Skills (BIS) in 2015 found that migrant workers are benefiting
businesses and the value they bring to the organisation outweigh the
language and culture constraints.

Here are 5 benefits that a migrant employee brings to the table:

1.Filling Skill Gaps

Migrants
can expand the workplaces ability to expand their current workload by
enabling the business they work for to expand, take on more contracts
and grow. Migrants also provide access to a wider talent pool and this
has helped in filing positions whose skills were not easily found in the
UK, Australia and USA.

2.Devotion

Migrants
have left their countries where they have a sense of safety, comfort
and knowingness. Due to this, they have lost their connections, circle
of influence and possessions. Having survived all that and starting
fresh, they are survivors. Often, this makes them extremely devoted and
hardworking employees due to how grateful they are for this ability to
work and their nature to constantly keep self-improving.

3.Valuable Connections

The same study by BIS stated that the networks of migrants was their most unique benefit. It helped companies expand into new markets and improve relations with foreign markets.

Migrants introduced the company to new customers by marketing to migrant communities and helped with recruitment by referring to local workers.

4.Problem Solving & Diversity

By
integrating people from different parts of the world into your
workforce, you make your workforce diverse and diverse teams look at
problems and generate ideas from different approaches. It also makes the
workplace an interesting place with employees getting exposure to
different religions, foods and cultures.

5.Innovation

Migrants
took a huge bet on themselves when they moved to a new country. They
are natural risk takers which makes them great employees. Companies need
to innovate constantly to keep ahead of the competition and migrants
being risk takers bring creativity and innovation to the table.

In Summary

Migrants
offer a lot more value to a company than is usually known. They can be
pioneers and great problem solvers that can take your business ahead of
everyone else. Their strong sense of devotion makes them reliable
employees that get things done. In addition to filling skill gaps,
migrants also offer a very valuable commodity, that is their connections
so you can have help expanding into new markets.
